Hi Wiz,

Welcome to the forum.

Have a good look round and ask us anything you like.

Thanks kath, must admit when I was first informed of the diabetes (12.5) then 7.8 after fasting after hearing all the complications I was sorta scared out of my life thinking my life was over. But after a chat with a Doctor he put my mind at rest saying they have probably caught it at a very early stage and diet should help to keep things level.

my weight was high but over last 3 months lost 3 stone and 5 more to loose then I think Im happy to be able to buy more fashionable clothing.

glad I found the forum as I release now Im not alone with this (not married or partner)
